Working for the Night

[Intro]
Laughing through the empty nights,
Working harder just to forget
Lost in the routine, chasing fleeting dreams,
Pour another round of regret

[Verse 1]
Clock ticking slow, sweat on my brow,
Same old grind, no end in sight
Sip the pain, drown the rain,
Tonight I’ll forget my plight

[Pre-Chorus]
Fighting the pretty fumes, trying to stay sane
Living for the buzz, to numb the pain

[Chorus]
Working just so I can get drunk,
Fade away where I belong
In another bottle's sink, I sink,
Can’t escape where I’m from

[Verse 2]
Broken dreams in a bottle, chase the hollow,
Money’s gone, but I still hold on
Half-lit nights, tangled fights,
Till the dawn’s early yawn

[Pre-Chorus]
Fighting the pretty fumes, trying to stay sane
Living for the buzz, to numb the pain

[Chorus]
Working just so I can get drunk,
Fade away where I belong
In another bottle's sink, I sink,
Can’t escape where I’m from

[Bridge]
Is there a break? Can I escape?
Or just drown in the need
Living on the edge of another drink,
Planting my broken seed

[Outro]
So I work, so I drink,
Trying to forget what I think
Lost in the haze, counting the days,
Just working so I can get drunk
